Partial purification of Chironex fleckeri (sea wasp) venom by immunochromatography with antivenom
Toxicon, 1986Chironex fleckeri crude venom was partially purified using immobilized commercially available ovoid antivenom. The antibody preparation reacted with lethal, hemolytic, dermonecrotic and mouse writhing (pain) factors in the crude venom. The lethal activity was purified five fold, while the specific eluate contained lower quantities of hemolytic ...

Acute management of serious envenomation by box‐jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri)
Medical Journal of Australia, 1984Two cases of serious envenomation by the northern Australian box-jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri) are reported. The first-aid measures and the subsequent management and follow-up of patients are discussed. In addition to its known life-saving effects, the early administration of the specific antivenom appears to be the best treatment for the savage pain ...

Effects of verapamil and CSL antivenom on Chironex fleckeri (Box-jellyfish) induced mortality
Toxicon, 1999Ovine antivenom prolonged survival in mice challenged with intravenous Chironex fleckeri venom over a limited dose range. Verapamil enhanced the beneficial effect of ovine antivenom. This data suggests that there may be an, as yet undefined, optimal antivenom dose for humans and that verapamil, used in combination with antivenom is an effective agent.

Comparison of tentacle extracts from Chiropsalmus quadrigatus and Chironex fleckeri
Toxicon, 1971Abstract The dermatonecrotic, lethal and hemolytic activities of extracts of the tentacles of Chiropsalmus quadrigatus and Chironex fleckeri were examined. The activity of the dermatonecrotic and lethal components appeared to be similar. The hemolytic activity of the two extracts could be distinguished by the relative greater stability of C ...

Separation of two myotoxins from nematocysts of the box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri)
Toxicon, 1987Two myotoxins, both lethal to mice by i.v. injection, were obtained by chromatography on Sephadex G-200 of material released from isolated microbasic mastigophores of C. fleckeri. Both toxins elicit contractures of skeletal (diaphragm) musculature of the rat and of smooth (ileum and vas deferens) and atrial musculature of the guinea-pig, although ...

Disarming the box-jellyfish: nematocyst inhibition in Chironex fleckeri.
The Medical journal of Australia, 1980Laboratory tests indicate that methylated spirits, widely espoused as a first-aid treatment for jellyfish stings, causes massive discharge of nematocysts in living tentacles of the box-jellyfish, Chironex fleckeri. This action, together with demonstrated hazards of flammability and intoxication, casts doubt on this substance as a treatment for Chironex
